"Slumdog" Wows NY Post Critics

Lou Lumenick and Kyle Smith of the NY Post have gotten an early start on the top ten list game with their respective best of 2008 lists:

Lou Lumenick:

Slumdog Millionaire

WALL-E

Milk

A Christmas Tale

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Iron Man

Revolutionary Road

The Visitor

Synecdoche, New York

Waltz With Bashir

Kyle Smith:

Slumdog Millionaire

Man on Wire

Seven Pounds

The Dark Knight

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 3 Days

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Doubt

Rachel Getting Married

Funny Games

Some very good choices. Glad to see I'm not the only one who considers 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days a 2008 film. I feel justified now.

I'm loving the love for Slumdog, but I hope it doesn't result in a backlash. Also good to see some love for Synecdoche, New York and Waltz with Bashir...but I'm not getting the love for A Christmas Tale. Oh well, to each his own.
